When I started watching football in earnest, the Raiders coached by John Madden, Dolphins coached by Don Shula, Steelers coached by Noll, and Cowboys coached by Tom Landry were the dominating teams.That 1977 team that went to SB was terrific. They had Otis Sistrunk and Matuszak on DL, Ted Hendricks at LB, and Jack Tatum in the secondary. He had a guy nicknamed "the snake" as his QB. Upshaw, Shell on the OL, with Casper at TE, Fred B and Cliff B as WRs. That was a fierce team.
RIP Coach Madden.
